    Made it to mildura OK. I think the fuel pump is on its way out. Hopefully we can make it to WA and sister can deal with it once we're gone.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    You are probably already passed Adelaide by now, but I would stop off and at least grab another fuel pump to take with you, as this is your best and cheapest opportunity to be prepared for everything ( if you are confident that is what the problem is ).

    It is expensive, and also a long way from anywhere when you are stuck in the middle of the Nullabor....

    x eleventy gazillion what they said ^^^^

    Even a second hand jobbie or whatever

    I've been broken down in S.A. at Kimba which was bad enough and that was in a Falcon so parts were easier to find than a Subie.

    From Ceduna or maybe even Port Augusta to virtually Perth you will have a high risk of waiting days for parts.
    If you have the pump then the bush mechanics across the 'bor will be able to help if needs be
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    hey guys, we tried to get a pump at mildura but none were available, nor at port augusta only adelaide. weve got to nullabor and are resting up for the night. we have only been filling up with the premium unleaded 98 and have been filling up every 300-400 Ks so before the tank gets to half empty. unfortunately we have just got to take that risk as time is such a constraint. so far the car has been going well though. we did 1600Ks today which made up for alotta lost time from yesterday. its nice countryside out here and i cant wait to see the bight tomorrow. will keep you posted as i get internet!
